Medium-sized ordinary buses require a B1 or higher-level driver's license to operate. The standard for medium-sized passenger buses is a length not exceeding 6 meters, with a rated passenger capacity of 10 (inclusive) to 19 (inclusive) people. The requirements for obtaining a B1 driver's license are: the applicant must be between 21 and 50 years old; must have held a C1 license for more than three years; and must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before applying for the B1 license upgrade. Regulations stipulate that the application for upgrading to a B1 license must be processed at the local vehicle management office where the driver's household registration is located, and cannot be done in other locations. Holders of a B1-level driver's license can drive not only the corresponding vehicle types but also C1 and M vehicle types. B1 license holders are required to undergo an annual review, which mainly involves education and a physical examination. However, if no penalty points are accumulated during the scoring cycle, the annual review can be waived for that year.

How Many Kilometers Can a Car Run Before Being Scrapped?

For household 5-seat sedans and 7-seat SUVs, non-commercial small and mini vehicles have no usage lifespan limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial sedans, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage lifespan limit. Commercial vehicles have scrapping age limits as follows: Small and mini taxi passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles 12 years. Public bus passenger vehicles have a scrapping age limit of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping age limit of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks 10 years. The vehicle scrapping process is as follows: The owner of the vehicle applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and stamp it with the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrapping age. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age, after inspection by the vehicle inspection office and confirmation that they meet the scrapping standards, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a recycling company in the vehicle's current location. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrapping time. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a new vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.

Do I need to bring a white one-inch photo for the Subject 1 test?

You do not need to bring a white one-inch photo for the Subject 1 test; just bring your ID card. The admission ticket and other documents are handled by the driving school, which will distribute them during the exam. Electronic IDs cannot be used for the test. If you do not have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID, which holds the same validity as a regular ID. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly state that the Subject 1 test can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 test will be terminated, and you can only reschedule after ten days. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the exam and end the session. The Subject 1 test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the Subject 1 test, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification station will assign a seat. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one free retake if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it again, the test will be terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

What are the reasons for insufficient power when a vehicle is climbing a slope?

There are four main reasons for insufficient power when a car is climbing a slope. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons for insufficient power when a car is climbing a slope: 1. Engine malfunction: When the engine malfunctions, the car lacks power, making it more difficult to climb slopes. 2. Poor oil quality: The issue of insufficient power when climbing slopes is often related to oil quality. Generally, diesel vehicles tend to perform better in this regard. 3. Carbon buildup: Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle or intake pipes can lead to insufficient air intake. Additionally, incomplete combustion of gasoline may also cause power deficiency. 4. Aging fuel pump: An aging fuel pump is another major cause of insufficient power.
